Informed consent 

MISJ-IJMRAAS have a right to privacy that should not be infringed upon without informed consent. Names, initials, and health facility numbers, as well as other identifying information, must no longer be included in written descriptions, photos, or pedigrees unless the records are required for scientific purposes and the individual in question (or their parent, guardian, or father) provides informed written consent for publication. For this reason, informed consent necessitates proof of an identifiable affected party in the text before it may be published. It is imperative for authors to inform these victims if any potentially identifiable material becomes available online or in print following publication. Patient consent should be documented in writing and kept on file with the journal, the authors, or both, in accordance with any applicable local laws or requirements. Small print analysis and non-essential information must be left out. If there is any doubt about the preservation of anonymity, then informed consent needs to be obtained. For instance, masking the area around the eyes in images of victims is insufficient protection of their identity. If features are changed to protect anonymity, such in genetic pedigrees, writers must guarantee, and editors must mention this, that the changes do not change the meaning of science. The published article should state when informed consent has been acquired.
